Sending & Receiving SMS from your Powerbook
Just discovered another nifty utility built right into OSX. Sending and receiving SMS text from your Powerbook via your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
Takes just a few minutes to get up and running with a T68i. Simply activate Bluetooth on the device, pair it with your Powerbook, open up Addressbook and then right click on any of the entries to select "Send SMS Message".
In addition to this you can receive SMS texts automatically and dial people on your phone and accept/deny calls using your Powerbook. All the details are in the link above.
Just have to work out how to use the Powerbook as a speaker phone for the T68i and I'll be all set :)

Actually, you can write your own AddressBook plugins in AppleScript. There are a bunch described at http://www.macosxhints.com/ (such as today's hint!)
